“Narrative Bonds makes the compelling case that the multi-narrator novel is a distinct animal … [It] also importantly turns our critical attention to the importance of forms besides omniscient narration, [offering] a disruptive counterpoint to omniscient narration’s encompassing vision.” —Shalyn Claggett, Nineteenth-Century Contexts
"[Narrative Bonds] offers such a comprehensive and precise catalogue of narratological approaches to the idea of the narrator that even researchers with no interest in the Victorian novel would benefit from Valint's detailed negotiation of narrators, narration, and form." —Tobias Wilson-Bates, Review 19
"The critical framework [Valint] develops in her monograph offers a productive approach to reading dis/ability, gender, privilege, and a host of other critical concerns in Victorian texts that have perhaps become overly familiar." —Jack M. Downs, Victorian Periodicals Review
